The decision by the Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Rtd. Ibokette Ibas, to suspend all political office holders and appointees across the state has sparked widespread reactions on social media.
The announcement was made public on Wednesday through a report shared on the official X handle of CHANNELS TV. This development follows President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State, which led to the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, Ngozi Odu, and all members of the Rivers State House of Assembly for a period of six months.
According to the report, the Chief of Staff to the Administrator of Rivers State explained that the suspension of political appointees was carried out in line with the powers granted to Ibas by President Tinubu.
The move has triggered a wave of reactions from the public, with many debating its implications for governance and stability in the oil-rich state. While some see it as a necessary step to restore order, others view it as an overreach of executive power.
As the situation unfolds, political observers continue to analyze the potential impact of these decisions on the future of Rivers State’s leadership and governance.
